Not as original as I'd thought

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2005)

I thought it was an excellent movie, the biggest reason was the originality of the storyline, or so I'd thought. The storyline, while fresh and interesting for a zombie movie, is completely lifted from John Wyndham's classic novel the Day of the Triffids.
Still, it's a fine film and deserves most of the positive accolades it has received. It's easily one of the finest horror movies I've seen in ages. The digital cameras really add to the feel of this movie, very gritty, very real feel to all the shots.
Again my only disappointment with the film was that it wasn't the original idea i'd thought it was, unless it was intended as an homage to Wyndham?
